You know things haven’t been going well for Obama when newspaper headline writers turn on him. Where’s the love? Weren’t our enemies supposed to love us by now? It’s starting to look like those doubters who said this guy wasn’t ready for the job may have had a point. Here are some headlines from just the last week:
“Paris rejects ‘Obama-style’ economic program”
“Iran cool to Obama’s overture”
“Al-Qaida No. 2 criticizes Obama over Gaza”
“EU attacks ‘Buy American’ clause, seeks removal from stimulus”
“Geithner confirmed despite tax problems”
“Obama’s Picture Burned in Effigy in Tehran”
“Daschle didn’t pay taxes”
“India warns Obama over Kashmir”
“Obama burned in effigy in Pakistan”
“CIRCUS: White House performance czar withdraws candidacy in tax mess”
“Chavez calls Obama ‘Bush clone'”
“Eleven Democrats defect on stimulus bill”
“Obama’s ethics pledge haunts him”
“PROMISES, PROMISES: No lobbyists at White House, except…”
“Blago says Emanuel should resign”
“Biden Fumbles Clinton Oath After Poking Fun At Chief Justice”
“Ice-battered Kentucky pleads for help from storm”
“Analysis: Daschle debacle humbles Obama”
“The new president, seen by some as arrogant…”
“Departures tarnish ethics drive”
“It’s A Circus”

Don’t get us wrong. The press and Obama have a relationship just like Bill and Hillary. They’ll stick with him no matter how many times he disappoints them.
